The spelling and grammar are the telling items, they are getting more desperate.

You sure you hit the report button? Mods didn't receive any reports. I just went in and banned that acount after reading your post here.

Not true, this is an international forum and there are plenty of honest members here who don't speak English as a first language, both in the US and around the world.

I get so nervous about doing any business from individuals online if it's a high dollar item (to me even a used rolex is high dollar).

I'm wondering if there's some type of protection in place on these classified ads for people looking to buy? I would even feel better if the sellers were to do a background check on a website like https://backgroundcheckrepair.org/ just so I can have more of a piece of mind knowing the person I'm doing business with is not a scammer or looking to take advantage of me.

Just a though. Thanks for reading!
